Mission: To encourage good MBGLL member behavior
In order to encourage good member behavior and to protect those towns that have followed MBGLL’s mission and spirit of the league, MBGLL’s board is developing this enforcement system to ensure that all teams support and nurture our league’s efforts.

Note: MBGLL’s goal is to communicate and resolve issues; not to penalize towns.

Enforcement System:

1st Warning

Probation

Suspension

Expulsion

Good Standing

No warnings or issues

1st Warning

MBGLL has issued a town a warning regarding its financial standing, behavior, or other issue

Probation

MBGLL has issued a 2ndwarning either regarding the 1stwarning that was not fixed or for a separate issue. Towns must meet with MBGLL board’s review committee before permitted to re-enroll the next year.

Suspension

Teams are expected to continue to honor the remainder of their schedules; however, they are prohibited from participating in additional events throughout year (such as jamboree). Towns must meet with MBGLL’s board’s review committee before permitted to re-enroll the next year.

Expulsion

MBGLL is expelling all of the town’s teams from the league for one year
